My Windows 8.1 did not show the "Upgrade to Windows 10" app icon in the taskbar, whatever fix i tried. So i was looking for a way to manually upgrade vom Windows 8.1 to 10 using an USB stick.
How-i-fixed-it:
1. Go to the Windows 10 download page: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
2. Download and execute the download tool to get the ISO-file for Windows 10
3. Backup all data off the USB-stick you plan to use!!!!
4. Downlod the RUFUS tool from http://rufus.akeo.ie/
5. Select the Windows 10 .iso-file to create a bootable USB medium
6. Just to be on the safe side: In case of a clean install on the target system, have you product key ready. If you can't find it, you can use the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder freeware tool from https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ to read out your product key.
7. Put the stick into the system you plan to upgrade
8. Upgrade :-)
